Beginning Flag Day, June 14, 2008, a dedicated team of runners will run across America from Fort Irwin, CA to Arlington National Cemetery, one mile for every Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Marine killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. For ten weeks, team members will mark each mile with an American flag and signcard in an apolitical reflection of remembrance of each service member.

The Fallen are shown by the date of their sacrifice and the route for that day is given as well as a Google map link...

This group is apolitical... they are simply honoring our Fallen Heroes.

These are the dates/locations of my son's friends and his mentor, Sgt. Salie.

There many words that come to mind to describe these pictures; pride, brave, sadness, compassion, respect, and sacrifice to name a few. These brave ones are the cream of the crop of our future and will be missed.
